Q1: What is printed as a result of executing the following code segment?

int count = 0;
for (int x = 0; x < 4; x++) {
   for (int y = x; y < 4; y++)
      count++;
}
System.out.println(count);

Q2: What is the minimum number of times “Hello” can be printed?

int k = // a random number such that 1 <= k <= n ;
for (int p = 2; p <= k; p++) {
   for (int r = 1; r < k; r++)
      System.out.println("Hello");
}
